Teaching & Consulting
"Richard Jenkins is a professional with extensive knowledge in his field. He is able to articulate a clear vision and executes the vision within the highest standards. Richard is approachable, collaborative and reliable. He is a great person to work with and a true colleague."
– Jennifer Unger, Education Director at ArtsSmart Institute for Learning
"Many artists are gifted at producing work. Not all are equally gifted as project managers and communicating to assure a successful process. Richard does it all well, from articulating the possibilities within the creative process, implementing a project, to maintaining the capacity to respond to the needs of the learners or educators that guide learners."

"I was fortunate to work with Richard Jenkins on State of Chaos, a mobile character collection game with a "biker gang" theme. A huge part of the progression was unlocking "biker patches" to modify character stats/abilities - so it was paramount that these items were alluring and evocative. Richard took high level direction and was able to meet and exceed our expectations, creating dozens of unique Biker Patches that enhanced the character and charm of the finished product. He's fast, creative, and easy to work with - what else can you ask for?"

"Richard Jenkins was a consummate professional when we worked together for years on a series of comic book graphic novels. Never a missed deadline and everything in place as needed in a field reliant on creative talent that stereotypically finds dotting the Is and crossing the Ts on the business side to be challenging. – Larry Young, publisher, AiT/Planet Lar
"To me, besides his impeccable craft and work ethic, the thing that stands out to me most about our time working together is that even under high-pressure, deadline driven tensions, Richard only contributed his immaculate work and frankly hilarious and warm observations, alternately commiserating and defusing tough situations with hard work and clever quips. He was a joy to work with and I'd do it again in a heartbeat." – Larry Young, publisher, AiT/Planet Lar
"Richard’s artwork brings my work to life! I am always amazed at his genius in using my vague directions to create imaginative illustrations to tell the stories of history. His commitment to meeting deadlines makes him easy to collaborate with every time." – Kathryn Shurden, Author and Owner, You Are Here Curriculum
“Richard is a consummate professional – he’s not only a supremely talented illustrator, he’s also a deeply creative thinker and problem solver, who brings to every project a wealth of experience and a true passion for the work. Richard is trustworthy, reliable, and, quite simply, a good person to his core. I highly recommend him for any project that could benefit from his impressive skillset.” – Brian Winkeler of Robot House Creative
"Years ago, my dad told me a funny and beautiful story about himself. Richard was the answer to a prayer in bringing this story to life as a comic. The creativity, responsiveness, and respect that Richard showed during the process were impressive. Every step along the way in our project was harmonious and fruitful. The drawings were beautiful and perfectly portrayed my dad's story. I was absolutely astounded at the finished product. I was able to give the cartoon to my dad for his birthday and it was the greatest gift I could have imagined. I highly recommend Richard as a creative artist and man of great character." – Joe Long
